Volume 1 Wind and Rain into Lin'an Chapter 45 Take-in
Zhang Ruomei said angrily: "What a lonely man and a widow, you are an excuse." I can see that you are afraid that I will bring trouble to you. What righteous man and righteous man, saying that I am a righteous man, and I can't wait to drive me away quickly, yes or no? ”
Fang Zi'an laughed and said, "Miss Zhang is so sharp-toothed, but I didn't see it. ”
Zhang Ruomei said: "Otherwise, why don't you let me stay here?" The officers and soldiers outside searched for me, and I didn't even have a place to hide, and one day they would catch me. Actually, I thought about it last night and stayed here. Don't worry, I won't disturb you, just borrow your west wing to live. If I give you money, I will not do you any wrong. ”
Fang Zi'an didn't know what to say, and said with a wry smile: "You treat me as an inn, right?" My house is not an inn, what do I want you to do with your money? ”
Zhang Ruomei sat down on the chair and muttered: "It's best not to want silver, I still have to go out to steal big money." ”
Fang Zi'an was speechless, it was really easy to ask God to send God, and he kindly let Zhang Ruomei stay overnight, but he didn't expect her to rely on herself. But after thinking about it, Zhang Ruomei is right, although the city is calm at present, the search operations of the officers and soldiers in the secret will definitely not stop. Zhang Ruomei's hiding in Tibet is extremely risky, and she will really be caught. If that's the case, it's not what I want to see. Moreover, Zhang Ruomei is Zhang Xian's daughter, how can she ignore it after being loyal. While it's risky to keep her at home, it's better than letting her take even greater risks outside. Since I've already helped her once, why don't you do it to the end.
"Well, then, you stay and hide. I'm clean here, too, and not many people come. As long as you don't move around, there is no danger. If they are seen, they are called cousins. Wait until the situation calms down. Fang Zi'an smiled.
Zhang Ruomei was pleasantly surprised: "Fang Gongzi agreed? That's great. Finally, I don't have to hide outside. Fang Gongzi, don't worry, I won't cause you trouble, as long as the search at the city gate is a little looser, I will leave immediately. Childe is very kind, Ruomei will remember it. ”
Fang Zi'an smiled bitterly: "Miss Zhang, I'll put it in my head, I live alone, and I will do what I can." The food is so-so, and the life is so-so, and I don't serve people. ”
Zhang Ruomei smiled: "What do I want you to serve?" I'll cook the food, and I'll wash the clothes. I learned this at a very young age. I entered Baiyun Temple at the age of eight and learned everything from Master. Not only can I do laundry and cooking, but I can also chop wood and grow vegetables. Childe is willing to take me in, I am already grateful, how dare I let Childe serve. ”
Fang Zi'an had nothing to say, nodded and said, "That's the best, I don't have to worry if you can take care of yourself, so be it." ”
Zhang Ruomei was obviously very happy, and the joy on her face couldn't be suppressed. Last night was the most restful night she had ever slept on, and when she woke up in the morning, she thought about staying here. Seeing that Fang Gongzi is very humble and chivalrous, maybe he will agree. So he made a bold request, but he was actually very ashamed. Fang Zi'an really agreed, and she was naturally very happy. Her family was ruined when she was eight years old, and she was still an ignorant child when she was sent to the Taoist temple. In order to allow her to take revenge, the master was extremely strict with her, and there was not much warmth in the Taoist temple. After going down the mountain, he has no fixed place to live, and he thinks of revenge every day, but in fact, his life is very miserable. The feeling of being taken care of by Fang Zi'an last night was so warm that it made her feel a little nostalgic. can stay, Zhang Ruomei really can't be happier.
"Childe, you go and rest, I'll clean up the table and sweep the floor in a while, you don't have to do anything." Zhang Ruomei said.
Fang Zi sighed with peace of mind, and also felt some pity for Zhang Ruomei's life experience and situation. He said in a deep voice: "Miss Zhang, you don't have to be like this. I don't have a lot of housework here, so you can rest when you need to, and you don't have to be too nervous. I have a habit of sleeping during the day, and I'm going to sleep. In the evening I went out to buy some clothes for Miss and came back, and she would tell me what else she needed. Or make a list so I can buy it. If you stay, don't be too restrained, let's do homely etiquette, and we don't have to be so restrained with each other. ”
Zhang Ruomei agreed with a smile, and Fang Zi'an went back to the room to rest. Lying on the hot bamboo mat, Fang Zi'an missed the cold water vat very much. I could have slept comfortably in the cold water tank, but now that there are many girls in the family, I can't do whatever I want. Soon, however, the strength of the wine came up, and drowsiness hit, and soon he snored loudly.
When I woke up, the sun was already setting in the west outside the long window. Fang Zi'an got up, stretched his waist and walked out of the east wing, and suddenly froze, thinking that he had gone to the wrong room. The hall was cleaned cleanly, the pattern of tables and chairs had also changed, and things were neatly arranged, and Fang Zi'an didn't react at once. But soon realized that it was Zhang Ruomei's doing.
There was a sound of Xisuo in the courtyard, Fang Zi'an walked to the porch to peek, but saw that in the corner of the west of the courtyard, Zhang Ruomei was using wood to turn over the soil and tidy up the vegetable furrow that had been abandoned for a long time.
Fang Zi'an walked over, frowned and asked, "Miss Zhang, what are you doing?" ”
Zhang Ruomei said with a smile: "Tidy up the vegetable furrow, sprinkle the seeds, and at this time, it will grow soon." It's better than this pile of weeds. ”
Fang Zi'an said: "Why bother, didn't I say it? It doesn't have to be, Miss Zhang doesn't. ”
Zhang Ruomei wiped the sweat on her face and said, "What I want to do has nothing to do with my son." Childe doesn't care. ”
Fang Zi'an waved his hand and said, "What do you like, I can't control you." I'm going out to buy clothes for you, what do you want, do you have a list? ”
Zhang Ruomei thought for a while and said, "It's okay to buy me a change of clothes dress." The rest is not needed. ”
Fang Zi'an tilted her head to look at her, Zhang Ruomei's face suddenly turned red, and she said in a low voice: "I also need a set of underwear." Thank you, Childe. ”
Fang Zi'an turned around and went out, waved his hand and said, "That's it, I'll look at it and buy it, and I don't need you to explain." ”
In the evening, Fang Zi'an returned to the courtyard with a bulging package, Zhang Ruomei had already prepared the meal, even Fang Zi'an's room was cleaned up, and the doors and windows of the house were cleaned. The long window was re-pasted with new paper, the debris under the porch was cleaned up, and a few pots of flowers and plants were placed.
"Miss Zhang, I can only buy some clothes and utensils casually, and I don't know if I can use them. You can see first, if it doesn't work out or if there is something missing, I will buy it for you tomorrow. Fang Zi'an handed the package to Zhang Ruomei, and went to the porch to wash his face and wipe his sweat.
Zhang Ruomei took the big package back to the west wing, put it on the mat and untied it, and took out the things inside one by one, and suddenly blushed and red-eyed. I bought two sets of skirts, underwear, shoes and socks, not only that, but also bought pollen, rouge and other women's decorations, and even a silver hairpin. Although it is not the most valuable thing, this is the first time since Zhang Ruomei was a child that someone has been so careful to help her buy these women's clothes and supplies. Zhang Ruomei held the silver hairpin in her hand, her eyes were red, and her heart was warm. Although they met, Fang Zi'an felt like an extremely close person to her at the moment.
Out of the woman's clothing and supplies, Fang Zi'an also bought mosquito nets, incense pieces, cloth pads, cloth towels, fragrant pancreas and other things, thinking about it very thoughtfully. Zhang Ruomei was moved. Obviously, Fang Zi'an wanted to make his life more comfortable, he said that he wouldn't take care of people, but in fact, he was very careful and considerate.
What Zhang Ruomei didn't know was that in order to buy these things, Fang Zi'an was cheeky and ignored the disdainful eyes of others. After all, a man who runs to buy rouge pollen and women's obscene clothes and pants will inevitably attract strange eyes. Fang Zi'an also bought these things back. And the clothes need to fit, Fang Zi'an doesn't know the size, so he can only buy it according to his visual imagination, which is really not easy.
Zhang Ruomei came out again and changed into a plain white skirt, although the fabric is average, but it is very decent to wear on the body, and she looks like a cute girl next door. Fang Zi'an was glad that he had chosen the right size, and when Zhang Ruomei turned around, he saw that the silver hairpin had been pinned to the tips of her black hair.
After dinner, Fang Zi'an went back to his room to read, but when he opened the book, he couldn't read a word. There have been too many things happening in the past few days, Fang Zi'an's mind is messed up, his heart is also messed up, and he can't read at this time. After barely reading a few pages, he finally got up and walked out the door.
In the hall, Zhang Ruomei was holding an object under the candlelight, which was shining in the light. Seeing Fang Zi'an come out, Zhang Ruomei stood up and said with a smile: "Doesn't Gongzi Fang study?" ”
Fang Zi'an sat at the table, poured a cup of herbal tea and drank it, and said, "I feel a little troubled in my heart, and it is in vain to read it." ”
Zhang Ruomei said: "Is it because of Mr. Zhou?" ”
Fang Zi'an sighed and nodded. Zhang Ruomei comforted: "Don't worry about Fang Gongzi, Ji people have their own natural appearance. Mr. Zhou will be fine. ”
Fang Zi'an smiled bitterly and thought: It would be nice if this was the case, but unfortunately this is unlikely.
"Don't talk about it, Miss Zhang, tell me about Marshal Yue and your father who fought against the Jin people back then. I have heard a lot, but I always feel that it is not true and comprehensive. You are the daughter of Zhang Tong, and when you know the details, your words are the most credible. Fang Zi'an said in a low voice.
Zhang Ruomei was stunned and said softly: "I was only seven or eight years old at the time, and I heard what others told me. However, Uncle Xu experienced the war himself, and what he told me should be true. ”
Fang Zi'an said: "Uncle Xu? Who's that? ”
